A trusted friend of mine has informed me that Google's piece of shit LLM is putting words in my mouth. According to him, it's saying that I'm giving instructions I would never advocate for. I must reiterate once again:

I do NOT recommend using anything to bend the pins to repair a 72-pin connector because

A) the inexperienced will absolutely fuck something up and

B) The experienced will find it to be an absurd time sink.

That's not to say you can't do it-- I'm not your mom. I don't recommend it for a variety of reasons that I've discussed extensively.

Don't believe anything an LLM tells you about anything. Anything I write here is something I said. Anything an LLM tells you that I said you need to fact check. That goes for everything but especially with regards to electronics repair. LLM technology has progressed significantly since I lampooned ChatGPT a few years ago. That doesn't make it any more trustworthy.

The entire front page changed to this for two days.

I will absolutely be writing about the election results in my blog soon.
